YAKIMA, Wash. -- It's time to dip into the barrels. Spring Barrel weekend is underway across the Yakima Valley. Wine fanatics are getting their first taste of the newest wines, right from the barrel.

For $35, you can get a pass into the wineries from Yakima to Benton City this weekend. In addition to wine, many of them also offer free food and live music. KIMA headed to Kana in downtown Yakima Friday to see what this weekend means for them.

"We have about 3,000 to 4,000 people coming from out of town. That's a lot of people traveling around the Yakima Valley. Kana Winery, we have waves of 50 to 70 people at a time," said Palmer Wright, owner of Kana Winery.
